How has your 2024 been so far?

1434 sats \ 37 comments \ @cryotosensei 3 Oct meta

What’s your theme this year? How will you consolidate your 2024 in one word or phrase? Did you plan to pursue this theme in Jan this year, or did things unfold organically along the way? Are you making an intentional effort to work on your theme or just going with the flow? How are you going to spend the last quarter of 2024?

Cheers 🍻

Ironically you already said the word : consolidation. My mind, body , spirit feels in a good place, considering the work done over the last few years… consolidating.

Change

Its been frustration, growth, pain, as well as ups and downs. Grateful to be where I am and able to affect change. Grateful for Jesus and what I am learning about the way.

Reminds me of the serenity prayer. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference

Not bad. It's been the same like last year so far. I've to travel so much so, I'm like more of a nomad on ports. Doing business. Being busy.

It’s good that you get to experience foreign cultures on your business trips. This is something that I can’t do as a teacher

Frustrating.

I don't say that to complain. Frustrations are a huge source of necessity/motivation for me.

I'm committed to frustration for the foreseeable future.

Did your innate personality help you develop such a Zen-like approach to frustration, or was it something you honed along the way?

Personally, this year I discovered Bitcoin and for me it has been the best thing that has happened to me, being able to wake up from the fallacy of fiduciary money and knowing that I can save in hard currency.

Are you going all in on Bitcoin or do you still hold some investments in other assets?

I started with little, I am working to invest heavily.

deoccultare

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @cryotosensei OP 4 Oct

What’s this?

120 sats \ 1 reply \ @zapsammy 4 Oct

occultare is latin word for hidden, so deoccultare - unhidden. i know it's not in the dicionaries. Shakespeare showed us how to play with words, what a great guy.

if i write unveiling, it sounds too simple, or usually associated with unveiling of something brand new, like a new technology.

unhiding/unhidden sounds silly...

if i write apocalypse (unveiling), people associate that with chaos, which is totally incorrect. unveiling by itself doea nothing. people decide what to about the information unveiled.

occultare is associated with the the dark and evil and satanic, which is also incorrect... but by writing deoccultare it is perhaps implied that i am anti-satanic.

Sorry for the late reply. I was down with diarrhoea yesterday.

Comments like yours motivate me to keep posting here. I love peeking into others’ thought processes and learning new things! It’s hard to do so when fighting to fulfill deadlines amidst the daily grind.

Keep deoccultaring your mind!

Abundance. The infinite. Re birth. Cycles. Gratitude.

Reminds me of the main character in Perks of Being a Wallflower. He also wanted to be infinite

It's been superb! No worries. Just happy in my little town with my family. The temperatures habe not irked me for we have Mountains all around. Fresh air, fresh water, happy people and all basic facilities available. So, it's like everything's always been fine here, at least as I can see so far.
